Jackson will
be the location of a new Family Dollar Store according to Tom
Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont Place, Ltd who handled
the recent transaction.Kelsey confirmed the sale had been closed and the store
location will be on the former site of the El Torero Restaurant
property at 711 E. Jackson Boulevard, across the street from
Brennecke Chevrolet.Kelsey said it was his understanding the former
restaurant building would be completely razed and site work
completed to build the new retail store.

was founded in 1959 in Charlotte, North Carolina and has grown
to over 7,200 stores in 45 states throughout the country.They currently have 50,000 employees with annual sales of
$8.5 billion dollars.Kelsey said an opening date has not been announced, but
historically the company has these types of stores completed
within a few months of land acquisition.No sales price was disclosed, but the Lorimont website
lists the property at $325,000
